On Sunday night, Allen Haywood was randomly and viciously attacked by two kids on the platform of the L’Enfant Plaza Metro station. Dozens of people witnessed it. Several people filmed it. Nobody helped.

Haywood was trying to transfer to the Yellow Line around 7:15 p.m. when the assault happened. He was headed home to Fort Totten after working out at Results on Capitol Hill, a gym bag slung over his shoulder and a book in his hands. As he read with his back to the station wall, “all of a sudden someone whacked me on the back of the head really hard,” he recalls.

Haywood turned around. The boy looked to be about 11 or 12 years old. Baffled, Haywood asked, “What the f**k are you doing?” The boy stood there laughing. Then someone else cracked Haywood from the other side. He turned around again. This time it was the girl in the video above. She didn’t stop swinging for more than a full minute, chasing Haywood around the platform as other kids egged her on....

A flash mob, not interested in singing Christmas carols, rampaged through the MayFair Mall, in Wauwatosa, WI, on Sunday. Someone in the group tried to rob a passerby on the sidewalk and fired a gun, hitting no one. The mall closed 20 minutes early and people were concerned and frightened. Of course, the media and the police are downplaying the incident and the news columnists give the typical responses and excuses, as the perpetrators are all amish. Thankfully, constitutional carry is coming to Wisconsin very soon.

Bully for them but a disproportionate amount of blacks do and then a majority of their brethren either rally around the urban youts or ignore it and spout whining BS about race.

Yes, I agree. The Amish reference has become very trite.

[fr_freak]

The Amish meme is bigoted and we should be better than that.

You're right - the Amish in no way should be associated with this kind of savage, amoral behavior, even in jest. We should speak plainly about the pervasive criminal culture in the black American community so that we may get closer to actually doing something about it.

Where’s Charles Bronson when you need him?

Maybe some kind of gang initiation?

Deliberately or accidentally?

Probably an animal lover. Geez Louise—where will it all end?

[Silentgypsy]

I see that you know the noxious effects of children. Kudos to you! They’re not all innocent little sweeties.

[Silentgypsy]

You are a very wise person.

[Silentgypsy]

That is why swamps exist.

You’re exactly right; thugs emboldened by bro Obama- and it will only get worse.

I would love to drop the Amish metaphor and use the real word that succinctly describes these predators.

I have a bunch of retroactive birth control pills... all slightly under a half inch in diameter... they even come with their own nice little brass dispenser.

..after Goetz did this the crime sure went down.
Where’s a modern day Goetz when you need him?
